The Giver

Mr. Kester English The Giver by Lois Lowry The Giver is a fiction novel about a boy named Jonas and his life in a perfect world of “Sameness”. In this world there were no colors, feelings, or choices. In this world everything was decided by the Commitee of Elders and took place in a ceremonious way. There was the Matching of Spouses and the Naming and Placement of new children. There was also a ceremony …

…way such as, hunger, coldness, and bad weather. As Jonas and Gabriel were entering Elsewhere on the sled they heard people singing and knew that they were waiting for them. “Behind him, across vast distances of space and time, from the place he had left, he thought he heard music too. But perhaps it was only an echo,” and Jonas and Gabriel entered Elsewhere. What happened in the world of “Sameness” will never be known.
